THE HORSES LEGS.
Why They Should be Given tho Very Best
Of Care In Winter.

Why They Should be Given tho Very Best
Of Care in Winter.
In those States where mud prevails
at times during winter, some horses
more than others are liable, through
standing in mud and melting snow, to
get cracked heels, and from this swelled
and feverish legs. The skin cracks. all
the parts adjacent take on a low form
of inflammation, and this frequently
causes such tenderness of the parts as
to make the horse go lame. Farmers
who drive in from the country through
the mud, and while in town. let the team
stand ankle deep in mud or slush,
have no reason to expect their horses
will not have sore heels unless they re.
ceive extra care on returning at night.
The requisite care. however is seldom
given. and the horse stands all night
with dirty feet and legs, and perhaps
eats Il hearty feed of corn, which latter
add to the chances of feverishness. In
the first place, horses should not be
permitted to stand in slush above the
hoofs. They may travel in the mud
without harm. if the after care of the
legs is what it should be, but the stand.
ing at rest in the mud is as damaging
to the parts involved as it is for the
horse to stand in current of cold air
when the body has been overheated by
exercise. Neither on returning to the
stable from drive under the conditions
named should the horses less be
washed and then permitted to dry in
their own time, but should be thor.
oughly dried by rubbing. and then il
there is any danger to the heels they
should be bandaged in flannel. If the
heels have already become hot and
show signs of cracking. they should lie
treated at night, after thorough cleans
ing. with ointment of acetate Of lead.
and in the morning with glycerine. as
the latter will protect from cracking
during exercise. That troublesome
ailment called grease follows sore heels.
as do also fungous excrescences. both
sometimes difficult to remove.-Na-

INSECT PARASITES }.

In0 constant warfare Wo80Q A8890o4
Them BY the Entire Hymsnoptsrous
Family.
We have but to open our eyes to see
the constant war that the hymenopter-
Gus insects wage against injurious ones.
Even those most dreaded by us. are
helping to diminish the numbers of the
enemies of our gardens and fields. The
white-faced hornet which often hangs
its great paper nest in our orchards, and
which every body fears, is nevertheless
destroying myriads of noxious insects.
This past summer 1 was picking pears
from tree which was infested by that
worst enemy of the pear and cherry
trees-the SLUG" (Selandria CerasD.
when noticed several hornets on the
tree. Stepping back and keeping watch
1 saw they were taking the slugs from
the leaves. Sometimes one would get
two or three, and holding them in its
mandibles and fore legs, would fly to
its nest on neighboring tree, where it,
no donbt. fed the unsavory things to
the young hornets.
To this order also belong the ichneu.
mon-fies, which compose one Of the
most important and largest groups in
the insect world. They are all para.
sites. Some are quite large, while
others are so small that they can scarce.
ly be seen without the aid of lens.
But they all have similar habits, de.
posting their eggs in other insects.
The largest species leave but one egg in
each victim, while some of the smaller
ones leave great numbers.
One of the most familiar examples
may be found in the tomatO-worm.
Some years it is almost impossible tc
find worm free from these internal
parasites. The parent of these para
sites is tiny, black, microgaster fly,
which goes peering about among the
tomato vines until it finds a worm,
when it lays a great many eggs all over
its body. The eggs soon hatch. and the
minute Larvae work their way into the
body of the worm. The worm eats vo-
raciously, and grows as fast as il
nothing was the matter. The little
parasites grow too, and make the body
of their host look plump and full. fol
they are packed thickly between the
digestive organs and the skin, where
they consume all of the fat, which
would otherwise 60 to make the future
moth.
When the little things are full-grown,
and have finished eating, they gnaw
their way out through the skin Of their
host, and now standing on end, they
commence to spin their small cocoons
all over its back and sides. The pool
victim has rapidly shriveled and shrunk
in size, its appetite is gone, and it soon
dies. But it clings to the plant. and
lives long enough for the small flies tc
come out of the cocoons, which is in
about FIVE days after they are spun.
Each one pushes up tiny cap or door
on the top of its cocoon. and very
different looking creature comes forth
from that which we saw wind itself in
the cocoon. 1t is astonishing how
quickly the transformation has been
wrought, but here it stands on its
empty cocoon, small. bright, wide
awake, active fly, waving its antenae.
and making its toilet preparatory to
launching out in the great world. where
it soon repeats the work Of its predeces.

Can you anywhere in the teachings of
Johnston, BOussingault, Liebig, Vile
or any of the great masters of the
science of agricultural chemistry find
authority and support for the theory that
the soil is sort of Il perpetual motion

keep the clover at work pumping up
from below" Yes. blu. what will you
do when your soil shall become 'clo-
ver-sick"-when even the deep-reach-
ing feeders of clover no longer find
means of support? Well, you might
squeeze the jug as long As there is
drop of cider in it, milk the COW as long
as she yields spoonful of milk, then
buy another farm and begin the en-
bezzlement plan Of appropriation over
again. Perhaps it might be more
profitable.
This is not the point at issue. The
truth for which we are now eagerly and
earnestly searching is-f we subtract,
il the remainder less than the amount
before subtraction? Years and years
ago was taught to give an affirmative
answer to this question. but if Of late

The Lost Glory. Influence and Cnques-

The countries now known as Cochin
China, AMMAN, Cambodia, Laos and

remnants of which are still to be found
in the mountains, on whom their con-

ward them, have imposed names which
in their several languages mean saw
ages. At period in the past which
probably answered to the beginning of
the Christian era, two con4uering peo-
pies took possession of the richer parts
of the country and drove these tribes
back into the mountains. They cstab-
